The Alleluias start in the midst of grief or pain, with difficulty, effort, and without much joy. We praise because we must, because it is the right thing to do, because it is the only thing we can turn to at times. Somehow in the process of praise we are transformed and are provided with joy that we can then offer to God as a gift, when in fact, it was always just His gift to us. The change in mood is made both harmonically and with tempo. Note that the tempo changes often.
When I first wrote this, I noticed how slow and unhappy it sounded. This was because I was in a state of mourning at the time. During the time of composition, my mood altered, but I chose to keep both aspects of my feelings intact in the same piece.
